Fastener collation strip having magazine rail-engaging members defining point-contact tip regions

摘要

A fastener collation strip has pairs of vertically aligned rail-engaging members of projections (42,44) which have convergent sides disposed within at least two mutually orthogonal planes such that lower and upper tip regions (58,56) of the rail-engaging members or projections define point-type contacts whereby the fastener collation strips are movably supported upon the rail members of the magazine section of the fastener-driving tool. As a result of the point-type contacts, frictional forces generated between the collation strips of fasteners and the rail members of the magazine section of the fastener-driving tool are effectively reduced as much as possible.
